    Perfect for runners, I highly suggest this watch to new/beginner and elite runners. It has everything you need and if youre swapping from a Apple Watch dont hesitate! One thing is that the charger cord broke like two weeks later.

    I am a little disappointed. It doesn't do all that the salesman represented to me that it would do. The band was a lot too small.
